Leung finds big HK role in Belt and Road plan

Three years after the official launch of the Belt and Road Initiative, there is much greater understanding of the opportunities that it could generate, Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying said on Wednesday.

"People understand the whys and the whats ... we are now very much at the 'how' stage. How do we grab the opportunities for all?" said Leung. "People who see opportunities under the Belt and Road Initiative are probably in the silent majority."

"It is such a vast initiative with such wide ramifications and ample opportunities for Hong Kong," Leung said during the China Daily Asia Leadership Roundtable in Hong Kong.
